Dust – Quonset Huts

Games
of Dust Warfare do need lots of terrain and this set is perfect for that. You
can buy Qunset Huts in sets of six and each model comprises the curved walls/ceiling
and two end-pieces – one with a door and the other without.

I
wanted my huts to look worn and well used and tried a couple of different ways
to do that.

First they
were all given two coats of Vallejo 893 US Dark Green.

I
put on Vallejo Oxid Paste near the ground and in small patches on this one above. It turned
out really red and I drybrushed it with US Dark Green to tone it down and let
the ‘rust’ show through in recesses. The whole thing was given a wash of Army
Painter Strong Tone ink.

The
rest was just washed with Vallejo Model Wash Light Rust. When the wash was
half-dry I used the brush to make streaks in the wash and I also put on another uneven layer near the ground.

A
rather fast way to get some cover for your poor infantry on the deadly Dust
battlefield.

a blog on Jan’s interests, for example books, board games, scale models,
history and miniatures. What’s not to like? Well worth a visit.

They were made by Fantasy Flight Games when they had the licence for Dust. I bought them directly from FFG when they had a sale a year ago. Unfortunately they are out of stock now.You should google Dust Quonset Huts for a stockist is UK or on ebay.

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
